It is a place of poverty and menace, yet these images can prevent us from seeing the reality of life east of the City of London, and of its dark history. This study features stories of crimes and misdeeds that show what life was like in this area before the 'East End' existed. They also reflect the changes caused as the settlements of the Tower Hamlets became absorbed by the new metropolis of London.CrimeEnglandLondonEast End (London, England)HistoryEast End (London, England)Social conditionsEnglandLondonEast EndfastElectronic books.Crime364.9421Charnick David1249842MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910153180503321The dark side of East London2896161UNINA
